Chapter 99 - 99 99 - To Stage a Good Play

?Chapter 99: Chapter 99 – To Stage a Good Play Chapter 99: Chapter 99 – To Stage a Good Play Afterward, Mr. Yan did not engage in further conversation with Zhu Qianying, because his phone kept ringing continuously. Judging from the content of the conversations, they were all work-related calls from clients and Qin Xiu.

Only when the car arrived at the parking lot of the hospital was Mr. Yan finally able to hang up the phone.

Zhu Qianying got out of the car first, leaning against the car door she said to the about-to-get-out Mr. Yan, “Mr. Yan, you’re so busy, you don’t need to accompany us.”

However, Mr. Yan insisted on getting out of the car, moved to her side, and leaned in to ask in her ear, “Aren’t you afraid Zhu Junzhao might harm your mother?”

Zhu Qianying glanced at the driver guarding her mother’s side, “Isn’t Chen here?”

Mr. Yan seemed to ignore her words, raised his hand, and lightly patted her lower back, “Don’t worry, I’ll back you up.”

Speechless Zhu Qianying, had no choice but to quicken her pace toward the entrance of the hospital.

However, having an inherent advantage due to his height, Mr. Yan took long strides and quickly caught up with her.

“My mother will be back in a few days,” Mr. Yan casually said with one hand in his pocket, looking at her from the side.

Zhu Qianying turned her head to look at him, could it be that him accompanying her to the hospital today was actually the will of Lady Yan?

“Didn’t she go to attend the wedding of the younger generation and take a trip?”

Zhu Qianying recalled, Uncle Hai explained it to her this way at the time.

“Yes, she’s coming back to prepare for the wedding.”

“Oh…”, so that’s how it is!

Neither she nor Mr. Yan paid much attention to the wedding preparations. It makes sense for Lady Yan to rush back to organize the wedding.

After walking for a while, feeling that Mr. Yan’s gaze had never left her, she turned her head again and met his eyes.

“After your mother returns, I will visit her.”

Mr. Yan didn’t respond, turned away, and stopped looking at her.

Zhu Qianying felt his mood dropping drastically and although she was confused, she also felt helpless.

At this moment, she was somewhat anxious and somewhat confused.

After getting married, how was she supposed to live with him?

Upon stepping out of the elevator, Mr. Yan was in the lead. Zhu Qianying hadn’t had a chance to get a clear look of the situation in front of her when Zhu Shaofen’s loud voice echoed from across the corridor.

“Oh, look who’s here? It’s Mr. Yan!”

Zhu Qianying felt her mother flinch beside her, and quickly reached out to hold her arm, encouraging her, “Don’t be afraid, mom. She won’t hurt us.”

Ever since she was badly bullied by Zhu Shaofen and her children, Chen had been hiding in her room most of the time in the Zhu family house. She tried to appear with her daughter during meals as much as possible to minimize any one-on-one confrontations. If avoiding was unavoidable, she played dumb.

During this period, Zhu Qianying also ingrained concepts like “goodness is rewarded with exploitation” and “no protector can compare to becoming stronger” into her mother.

However, Chen who had been bullied for over twenty years, even though she had the intention to change, her inherent cowardice couldn’t be altered instantly.

Originally, Mr. Yan was in the front. But upon hearing Zhu Shaofen’s yell, he stood still, turned around to look at Zhu Qianying. When she and Chen got to his side, he reached out and casually slung his arm over Zhu Qianying’s shoulder, “Let’s go!”

With that, he led Zhu Qianying toward the crowd standing in the corridor.

Only then did Zhu Qianying get a clear look. The corridor was bustling, all her aunts and their kids were present.

That’s to say, all of Zhu Zhizhou’s four sons and six daughters were present, except for Xiao Yu.

The scene was like that of dividing family property. He just broke his arm, was there a need for such a grand display?

Zhu Qianying cornered her mouth into a smile and greeted a few of the women in the older generation.

As for her older brothers and sisters, she just nodded with a smile as a general greeting.

Mr. Yan stood in front of everyone, with the stance of a protector, holding her. Zhu Shaofen’s gaze swept over the mother and daughter, revealing clear disdain and contempt, but she didn’t dare to say anything in front of Mr. Yan.

“Mr. Yan, you are really thoughtful, so busy yet you still came to visit your future father-in-law, he’s being examined, and will be right out in a few minutes.”

Mr. Yan gave her a cold glance, “I just came to accompany my girlfriend!”

His words implicitly hinted, what is Zhu Zhizhou to me? I came to check on him?!

Zhu Shaofen was speechless, and her face filled with embarrassment, she tried to defuse the situation, “Mr. Yan is really a good man…”

Mr. Yan didn’t even glance at her, he turned to Zhu Qianying and said, “My mother said your wedding photos are beautiful, Ah Jian hasn’t edited them yet, but she was urging Ah Jian to make a copy for her.”

Zhu Qianying couldn’t figure out whether this was true or false, was it just said to irritate Zhu Shaofen?

“Really? Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m curious about them.”

No matter if Yan’s words were true, Zhu Qianying very cooperatively played along with Mr. Yan’s act, speaking as she intentionally leaned closer to Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan gestured to the driver standing on the other side, who had been closely following Chen, “Bring me my iPad!”

Chen smoothly opened his bag and handed over Mr. Yan’s iPad.

Mr. Yan released Zhu Qianying’s shoulder, indifferently turned on the iPad, opened a certain file, and then handed it to Zhu Qianying, “You take a look!”

Zhu Qianying cast doubtful eyes on the screen, only to see a picture of her and Mr. Yan sitting on a galloping horse.

In the photo, she, tilting her face upward slightly, was bathed in the sunlight that radiated a faint rainbow-like glimmer on her face, making her look incredibly pure and bright.

The man behind her, his face slightly turned, was staring at her with focused eyes. The similar glow on his face, however, was completely different from hers in terms of demeanor and aura. She was just staring at his image on the photo, and what rushed towards her was an imposing heroism that shattered the image on the photo.

“Are these photos touched up by Ah Jian?”

Zhu Qianying couldn’t remember at all that Mr. Yan had ever looked at her with such concentrated and affectionate gaze.

Furthermore, the brightness of herself and the heroic aura on Yan didn’t seem to result from the photograph effects.

Mr. Yan leaned in to look at the photo and seemed a bit smug, “You also think they’re touched up?”

Zhu Qianying nodded, without touch-ups, where could such a dreamy romantic atmosphere and ambiance come from!

However, Mr. Yan shook his head, “No, these are the original photos.”

Zhu Qianying looked at him half-believingly when Mr. Yan explained further.

“Ah Jian is a very famous photographer, and his fame comes from his understanding of capturing light and shadow, grasping the subtle balance and conflict between light and shadow at that instant, and shooting these dreamy-like photos.”

Zhu Qianying nodded her head in vague understanding. She never knew Mr. Yan could be so patient with someone.

Naturally, she attributed his patience to the act of putting on a show for Zhu Shaofen and the others.
